Laguna smiled and waved his new friend in, revealing the interior to be slightly more upscale than the establishments Ramza had mentioned. Thought not by much. It was a dimly lit place that smelled of alcohol and cigar smoke, though both of those smells were overpowered by a much more potent smell of cooking meat. In the background, there was some low chatter and the sounds of merriment being had, stories being swapped, and a general vibe of good feelings hung in the air.

"Like I said, place looks a little shifty, but everyone here is good people. I'm surprised this place doesn't smell more like smoke and booze with all the stress everyone's under."
